Added default values for pathnames.

This allows one to simply run `./configure` and expect it to
produce sane defaults for an install.

Previously, without specifying `--prefix=...`, `make install`
would simply fail, recommending to set `--prefix` or `DESTDIR`,
but that recommendation was incomplete at best, since it didn't
set many of the subdirs needed for a good organization.

Setting `DESTDIR` was even worse, since that shouldn't even affect
an installation (it is required to be transparent to the
installation).

/usr/local is the historic Unix standard path to use for
installations from source made manually by the admin of the
system. Some package managers (Homebrew, I'm looking specifically
at you) have abused that path to install their things, but 1) it's
not our fault that someone else incorrectly abuses that path (and
they seem to be fixing it for newer archs; e.g., they started
using /opt/homebrew for Apple Silicon), 2) there's no better path
than /usr/local, 3) we still allow changing it for systems where
this might not be the desired path (MacOS Intel with hombrew), and
4) it's _the standard_.

Directory variables should never contain a trailing slash (I've
learned that the hard way, where some things would break
unexpectedly). Especially, make(1) is likely to have problems
when things have double slashes or a trailing slash, since it
treats filenames as text strings. I've removed the trailing slash
from the prefix, and added it to the derivate variables just after
the prefix. pkg-config(1) also expects directory variables to have
no trailing slash.

===

I also removed the code that would set variables as depending on
the prefix if they didn't start with a slash, because that is a
rather non-obvious behavior, and things should not always depend
on prefix, but other dirs such as $(runstatedir), so if we keep
a similar behavior it would be very unreliable. Better keep
variables intact if set, or use the default if unset.

===

Print the real defaults for ./configure --help, rather than the actual
values.

===

I used a subdirectory under the standard /var/lib for NXT_STATE,
instead of a homemade "state" dir that does the same thing.

===

Modified the Makefile to create some dirs that weren't being
created, and also remove those that weren't being removed in
uninstall, probably because someone forgot to add them.

===

Add new options for setting the new variables, and rename some to be
consistent with the standard names. Keep the old ones at configuration
time for compatibility, but mark them as deprecated. Don't keep the old
ones at exec time.

===

A summary of the default config is:
